Shelley Gets a set Back.

O1stOn Legtor IN L1S f0fO6tq67lce u OLrhdI.
A story is told by the gossips of the town.
apropos of the incIpient Shelley craze, which
relates how West End young lady, who
lives with her wealthy and eccentric grand.
mother. determined to establish Shelley
club She invited dozen of her friends of
both sexes, and informed her grandmother
only after all the arrangements for the meet
ing had been completed.
The grandmother made no comment, but
there was fire in her eye, and her grand
daughter, knowing how lily the head of the
house could brook having anybody take the
initiative but herself, should have viewed
with suspicion the package which arrived
from the BOOKSELLERS on the afternoon of the
day appointed for the first meeting. The
evening came and the guests assembled.
There was the usual chitchat discussion of
plans and all the rest of 1t. and then places
were found and they settled down to read
1.-THE Cenci," for which parts had been ar
ranged beforehand.
But just at this moment an interruption
occurred. The grandmother entered, richly
dressed, and handsome still in that stately
beauty which desccnds from a grandmother
who in her day turned the heads alike OF
Boston gallants and the courtiers of 81. Cloud.
Il am sorry to interrupt" Madame said.
after brief greeting to the company. "but
do not approve of Shelley. He was an i'm
moral man, who deserted his wife TO live 18th
another woman, and The Cenci,' which / be-
lieve you mean 10 read, isn't on a subject
that in my day young gentlemen and ladies
would have come together to discuss l can't
nave IL done In my mouse. J0hnH'
She raised her voice little at the last word
ana in the doorway behind her appeared her
footman bearing a silver tray, on which was q
file of small volumes. In response to sign
from his mistress the servant passed the tray
around, and each guest half mechanically
helped himself or herself to a copy of Hannah
More's Moral Tales"
II wanted" the old gentlewoman confided
to friend atterward, ITO get Jane Tayior's
Poems for Infant Minds but there were moi
COPIES enough at the bookstore"
The volumes distributed the old lady seated
herself at the head of the room, book in hand
You will pardon me" she said, ''if 1 take
charge of the reading tonight, as of course
you can hardly be prepared"
But. grandmother" began her grand
daughter, Il -"
PLEASE do not interrupt us now" was the
reply. delivered In tone which fully proved
how idle would be remonstrance. I'VE will
read in turn page each, If you please.
1t is only fair TO the determined old lady to
add that she let the company Off alter half an
hour of 1t. and that she had au uncommonly
good supper served later IN the evening; but
the probabilities are that no more Shelley
clubs will be started in that house whIle she
lives there, without her consent. There is
perhaps not another woman In Boston who
could have done the thing, and yet it was so
well done that those present went away de-
clsring amid their laughter. it is true, that
the evening had added 10 their already large
admiration for Madame.

When the Chickens Come Home.

From the Washington star.
You may take the world as it comes and goes,
And you will be sure TO find
That fate Will square the account she owes
Whoever comes out behind;
And all things bad that man has done,
BY whatsoever induced,
Returns at last to him, one by one,
As the chickens come home TO roost.
You may scrape and toll and pinch and save
While your boarded wealth expands
TIL the cold, dark shadow of the grave
Is nearing your life's last sands;
You Will have your balance struck some night
And you'll find your hoard reduced;
You'll view your life in another light,
When the chickens come home to roost
You can stint yoursoul and starve your hear
With the husks of a barren creed,
But Christ will know If you play part,
VIII knowtin your hour of need;
And then as you wait for death TO come
What hope can there be deduced
From a creed alonep You will lie there dumb
While your chickens come home to roost
Sow as you will, there's time to reap,
\ or the good and bad as well,
And conscience, whether we wake or sleep,
Is either heaven or hell.
And every wrong will find its p lace,
And every passion, looscd.
Drifts back aud meets you face to face
When the chickens come home to roost.
whether you're over or under the sod
The result will be the same,
You cannot escape the hand of God,
You muSl.aIlr sin or shame.
No matter what'sr~swa.on a marble slab,
When the items are aITprOduced
You'll find that st, Peter was keeping "tab. ,,
And that chickens come home to roost.

Mr.. Solomons' Plan.

The purpose of building q irst-class
hotel in this city has not been abandoned,
and it certainly ought not to be, particu-
larly as the conviction appears to be very
strong that the necessary money to build
one can be obtained if the right kind of an
effort is made.
Mr.. NJ. j. Solomons has plan which
undoubtedly has merit. 1t is as follows
Let company be formed with a capital
stock Of 100000, divided into 200 shares
of $4,000 each, and payable at the rate OF
$50 per month. Let each owner OF a
share in the Oglethorpe barracks proper
ty subscribe for share in the hotel CON-
panY, and let his share in the barracks
property at its par value of 500 60 to-
ward paying for his share in the hotel
company. Each share in the barracks
property will pay monthly instaliments
on the share in the hotel company. fall
the shares in the barracks property are
subscribed to the hotel company, the COM
pany will have at once capital of S70,-
900, which will be equivalent to thirty
five paid UP sharesy Ii any one of the
owners of the barracks property does not
care to take share in tue hotel company
ne can dispose of his interest in that prop
erty at its cash value in order that it may
be represented in the hotel company.
Assuming that six months will be re-
quired to organize the company and get
estimates, the amount paid in at the end Of
that time, not including the
shares represented by the barracks prop
which $50 share per month is paid for
six months.
On Sept. /, therefore, when the COM
pany is ready to begin work, the finances
will stand as follows: Barracks property
$4,000, cash SAC, 800, total Sis, 800.
Bonds can at once be issued for zen or
twenty years, bearing interest at the rate
OF per cent. TO the amount of 5000, 900,
with the privilege Of calling them in at
any time after five years, and on the
giving or due notice OF a purpose to do
so. The gradual and judicious sale Of
the bonds, together with the monthly in
stallments, will enable the company to
build the hotel on cash basis and in q
comparatively snort time.
This is, of course, only q mere outline
of Mr.. solomons' plan. The greatest care
will be taken, to insure judi
cious and economical expenditure OF the
money intrusted to the company. II any
body has better plan let him sug-
gest IL. This one appears to meet with
the approval of those who have bad their
attention called to it, Tue aim is to get
a hotel, il such thing is possible.

Praise for Georgia,s Governor.
From the PhiLgd.,o6ja Record Rem

VIC 7ttst9tEoII1ttW % V1ttf'J
Gov. Gordon, OF Georgia, has set himself
hrmly against the convict lease system OF
that State, and has astonished those who
thought that he would be plant tool in the
hands OF the men who have hitherto con-
trolled the public offices and work., and who
have enriched themselves by trafficking in
what In the eyes of many is virtually the
most degrading species of slavery. 1t might
have been thought that the passage of q bill
requiring each convict camp TO be attended
by physician would have been welcomed as
an illustration of the humanitarian spirit of
the age, instead of calling forth denuncIation !;
out II is good TO find that Gov. Gordon has
arrayed himself on the side OF the people, and
that ne Is not to be deferred from carrying
out the trust they have imposed upon him.

Excitement in the Chinese Harem.
LINN. IA an .l.... lila


There appeared few weeks ago n decree
of the Empress Mother Of China, calling upon
Tchou, the Censor. to justify his structures
with regard to the employment of one Of the
court eunuchs In a semi-polltical capacity
The incident has caused good deal of excite
ment IN Pekin, particularly among the 5000
guardians OF the imperial harem. A strong
feeling OF rivalry exists between these palace
officials and the Mandarins; but the former
are supported by the Empress, who has the
supreme direction and choosing of the female
members OF the court. The Emperor is en-
titled to seven "legal' and an unlimited
number Of illegal" concubines. If, however
one OF the latter give birth TO q son, her status
IL legtimated. and she becomes "Princess
OF the Blood )" and associated to the fortunes
of her child, who may one day ascend the
throne. Those young ladies who arrive at the
age OF 70 without giving an increase to the
imperial family are restored TO the bosoms of
their parents and are quickly sought in mar
riage by suitors of their own degree. 1t is
an accepted social dogma that they all leave
the court without stain upon their charac-
ter. An overhauling of the seraglio In this
sense takes place every three years, and new
recruits from about IA years of age are
selected by the Empress TO an up the vacan-
cies. Her choice. however. is almost in
variably confined to the pretty daughters OF
Manchu officers, so as TO preserve as far as
possible the racial integrity Of the dynasty.

The German Elections.

The elections in Germany appear to
have been unfavorable to the government.
The government hoped to have a majority
that would pass the septennste bill. BY
this bill it is proposed to fix the status OF
the army for seven years. The present
law regulating the army establishment
expires on March 81, and in the last Reich
stag the government wanted to continue
1t for seven years, while
the opposition wanted to continue
it for only three. There is no proposition
to increase the term of the soldiers SER
vice, and there is no marked opposition
to increase the army to the extent asked
for by the government. The later returns
NAV be more favorable to the government.
If Bismarck doesn't get the required ma
jority he will doubtless try again, as be
deems the septennate bill necessary for the
welfare of the German Empire. 1t may
be that he has other measures of highly
important character which be will pro-
pose when he gets Rsichstag that will
obey his will.
